Supreme Court temporarily restores Trump's travel ban

Supreme Court temporarily restores Trump's travel ban | 11 Sept 2017 | The Supreme Court on Monday granted a request from the Trump administration and temporarily blocked a federal appeals court's ruling that placed restrictions on the president's travel ban. In a one-page decision signed by Justice Anthony Kennedy, the high court halted a ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals last week that prohibited the government from barring entrance to refugees who had been offered help by a US-based resettlement agency. Kennedy's order puts the San Francisco-based appeals court's ruling on hold until the parties challenging the ban can submit written arguments to the court by Tuesday afternoon.
